Describe the stages used to produce a cloned mammal (5 marks)

The egg cell must first be enucleated through the process of removing the nucleus from the surrogate mother’s egg. An adult cell nucleus from the desired mother is then inserted into the enucleated egg. This combination of adult cell nucleus inside the enucleated egg must now be stimulated with an electric shock. This will cause the start of cell division by mitosis to eventually form an embryo in the uterus of the surrogate mother whom the initial enucleated egg belonged to.
